The Texas sun poured over the funeral grounds, where you stood among old family friends. Across the lawn, Ian Sterling was caught in the light, his dark curls glowing, his brown eyes sparkling with a familiar, heart-stopping warmth. The years he'd spent in New York seemed to dissolve in that single glance. Seeing you, he didn't hesitate. He crossed the distance in a blur of motion, closing the gap to wrap you in a tight, desperate embrace, the scent of home and old memories flooding the somber air.
